Pet care experience

The best home away from home!

I have had a personal dog for the past 10 years and care for them like any family member. I’ve also fostered dogs for the past 12 months so have vast experience with different breeds, temperaments, and needs. I’m the go to for friends when they need someone to check on or take care of their pets and I’d love to do the same for you!

Sara was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Mara and Daisy. She took such great care of them, made sure all of their medications were given correctly, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her dog Tucker got along so well with both of my girls, and it was clear they had a great time playing together. I could tell Mara and Daisy were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her home. I truly appreciated Sara’s kindness, communication, and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Another amazing stay with Sara, Blaise, and Tucker! Our dog always loves her time with them and they’re the first Rover we check with whenever we need care.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 1.5 year old black lab named Tucker to keep your pets company! He loves to play with other dogs and show them around the fenced in backyard. We have miles of sidewalks in the neighborhoods for good walks and toys galore to share. If playing is not your dogs thing, we have fluffy beds perfect for snoozing the day away. We have experience in medical needs of pets ranging from monthly preventatives to cancer treatments.
